22/23 CREATION FOR 10 PERFORMERS – CENTRAL – LA LOUVIÈRE (BE) DURATION: 60′

LANDFALL. It’s a fragment of mental space. Perhaps an island, perhaps a no-man’s-land. A frontier zone, a zone to be defended against the shrinking of reality. On the stage, ten individuals expose themselves and blend in, assert themselves and hesitate, in a game of movement and flux that is both constantly shifting and continuous. And while their presence willingly plays with a sometimes exaggerated frontality, above all it gives rise to unstable, changing portraits, like so many possible (re)presentations of the self. There’s something gently subversive about these resolutely frontal bodies and gazes: a vitality, an ardour that overflows into spontaneous impulses – an urgency.

Created from the singularities of its performers, LANDFALL opts for an assemblage of diverse energies and sensibilities rather than a univocal unifying unison. The result is a multi-faceted playground: games guided by the desires of ten young adults, where the ‘WHAT TO DO’ of each reflects and resonates to reveal their convergence.

The prize for the best show of the 22.23 season, in all categories, was awarded by ‘Les Prix Maeterlinck de la Critique’ to the Tant’amati / Erika Zueneli company for their show LANDFALL.
